Music as an escape

It seems like things in my life have been really pressure-filled lately. (Do I complain about it too much here? I can't keep track of where the complaining in my head stops and the complaining I do in public starts.)

At any rate, right now the two songs that help me escape from the pressures of the day the best are Miranda Lambert's "The House that Built Me" and Train's "Hey, Soul Sister." When one of those songs comes on the radio, I turn it up loud and sing like I'm in the band. Which -- since they're both new releases -- means that I sing about 12 percent of the lyrics with complete confidence and I outright fake at top volume the remaining 88 percent.

So aside from those two current favorites, my other most recently purchased songs on iTunes are (brace yourselves; it's an eclectic list):

Don't judge. I know Miley's not for everyone. And it's also not the '80s anymore, but I recently discovered that I didn't have any George Michael on any of my playlists, which I had to remedy.

I think I need to Google "1980s hits" and see what comes up. I feel as though my '80s selection is lacking. But then again, that might not be a bad thing. After all, Rick Astley was a product of the '80s.

What is your favorite song of all time? I might need to add it to my iPod.

It's not my all time favorite song but it is at the top of my playlist right now- American Daughters by Sarah Buxton. If you see me driving down the road then chances are that I am belting that one out at the top of my lungs. Hope today is less pressure filled.
